That sucks
My mrs is really badly paid as well and she's brilliant.

Could she commute to bristol maybe? hour and half each way i guess...

it costs a fucking packet
and the time would be a killer.

She was doing 45 minute commute to Taunton for a couple of years and that cost us about £3k and wasn't good for her general wellbeing

yeah you're probably right, I haven't done that journey in a while
Well best of luck to her, I guess this is one of the disadvantages of the West country, balance it with countryside, beaches and surf.

it'd go further than that
could be touch and go about keeping my house depending on what happens with the mortgage and housing market.

Shit mate that sucks, well now is a good time to remortgage if you are free to do so without to harsh a penalty

depends on the value of the house
if we're lucky we've got only just 10% equity, so being able to move the mortgage might be tricky.

I'm sure you'll cope, and you'll at least have a reason for it :-)
just fucks me off that if the economy hadn't taken a dive then my mrs would be on about £10k more than she is...
